Matthew Badham has an interview with me up at Down the Tubes. It was done quite a while back now, but goes into some detail about the process behind Captain Britain and MI-13. You can take a look here. The podcast of the second half of the panel I did with various other comic creators at Sci-Fi London is here. […]
